Vegetarian options: I did not see any vegetarian dishes. Because I was not looking for vegetarian dishes . Maybe there is some . I'm not a vegetarian . I eat meat ect.

Kid-friendliness: Customer service very polite and patient with kids . You know how kids can be .

Not busy but had a comfortable atmosphere. Food was excellent, the onion rings were the best id ever had and there ranch dip was amazing and im not a ranch fan. The burger was okay, but adding the ranch made it so much better.

Always perfect experience at Mel’s honestly, but if you are assigned a snotty waitress, ask for another instead. Don’t let them ruin your gas and appetite. The midtown location is best.
